The total capacity of the existing wells is about 480 MWt; however, only about 148 MWt from 80 wells are currently used. 35 of these wells are used for balneology and producing water at temperatures from 40 to 115oC. During the last five years seven geothermal wells have been drilled in the country with National financing, with some to depths of 1,500 to 3,000 m producing up to 90oC water.

There are two main companies in Romania currently exploiting geothermal resources: Transgex S.A. and Foradex S.A., have been given long term concession for practically all known geothermal reservoirs. Transgex, the most active company, is looking at developing district heating projects in a number of communities. The University of Oradea has established a Geothermal Research Center which provides geothermal training and research.
